We all love the natural highlights we get from the summer sun, but many common summertime activities can actually wreak havoc on your hair. From chlorine to salt water to general wear and tear, there are a lot of things that could be keeping your hair from reaching it’s full potential during the hot days of summer. Don’t wait until summer’s over to repair the damage; stop it before it even starts.
Here are a few easy tips for shiny, healthy hair this summer:
1. All Natural Shampoo
It’s important to use a gentle, all-natural shampoo when cleansing hair of damaging elements such as chlorine. Washing the chlorine out of your hair immediately after swimming can keep the hair from becoming dry, damaged, and discolored, which is especially important for color-treated hair.
We recommend the sulfate-free, paraben-free 00 Deep Cleansing and Gently Exfoliating Shampoo. Your hair will feel refreshed and strong all summer long!
2. Deep Conditioning Treatment
Fun in the sun at the pool or beach plus the heat of the sun can leave your hair dry and frizzy. To combat this, make sure you use a good, all-natural deep conditioning treatment. Whether you use it daily after shampooing or as a weekly deep conditioning treatment, it’s essential to find a good quality conditioner to repair your damaged locks. Want to prevent damage before it occurs? Wet your hair with clean water and slick back with Hydrating Mist before spending the day at the pool or beach and spray frequently on hair and skin. This conditioner will help block the harmful effects of the chlorine, sun, and salt water.
For summer hair conditioning we recommend the Keratin Hydrating Masque. This thick, creamy hair mask is all natural and gentle for everyday use, and is the ultimate spa treatment for every hair type: long, thick, thin, curly, color treated, dry, African American, and so on.
3. Shine Serum
I don’t know about you, but my frizz and flyaways are at an all time high in the summer, especially when it’s humid. A good way to prevent frizz is by applying Saharan Liquid Gold Argon Oil Serum to dry and/or wet hair before and after styling. This lightweight serum will leave your hair shiny and tame all day, as well as protect it from the day’s elements. It is silky smooth, and a treat for your tired hair.
Also try HairGia’s Spray Shine, a lightweight shine mist you simply spray on styled hair. When using this product less is more- hold and spray from a distance onto dry hair for radiant shine before you go out to tame those locks.
